A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

Wow, much more value than I expected from the title. I stumbled on this book and am ecstatic that I did.

This book/audio should be experienced by everyone for one or more of the following three reasons:
1) If you are happily going about life, not on a spiritual quest, never had a mystical moment and believe that you are just like everyone else, then this book will give you insights on how to experience more life and help you answer many of your difficult questions that you seldom think about.

2) If you have had a mystical experience, remember it and want to get back to that "state" again, then this book shows you how to, why you should want to and what amazing things await you when you do.

3) If you are on a spiritual quest, stop here. You need not search further. Eckhart gives you your answers in clear English for the Western reader. This is an amazing find for you.

Now, the down side. You will be distracted by Eckhart's accent. After a while in the book I realized why (although he never really speaks much about himself). Realized beings in the "state" have a breathy, deliberate, considered and generally slow way of speaking. This can lull you to sleep, but listern to the words and you will be fine.

This is the real McCoy. He knows. Listen.

I loved this audio book!
Eckhart Tolle' voice at first seemed a little odd, but I soon got very used to it and by the end of the book I enjoyed his voice, it is very soothing and very genuine.
I really needed this book, I truly feel different. My Mom died a few months before and my mind was very busy in the past. Tolle really gave me a new way of looking at the world.
I enjoyed the whole book and have listened to it 3 times (long commute to work) but the third chapter is where it gets interesting. Man, I had no idea how much ego I had. Definitely awakening. As a Mom and a wife I have seen a big change in myself over the past 6 weeks since I have listened to this audio book. Thanks Oprah for recommending it!

A spiritual book for those not into organized religion. This book changed me after one listen. It reveals how most suffering and stress come from within. The mind is a tool to be used for in-the-moment problems, but otherwise the mind takes a person out of the here-and-now with habitual thinking about past and future speculations. I bought this and listen to it over and over to help deepen the effect. After this book, I realized all my "problems" are as illusory as a mirage.

After reading the negative reviews of this audiobook, I was somewhat wary of buying it, but the positive reviews convinced me to go on and try it. I'm so glad I did! The negative reviewers complained about Eckhart Tolle's monotone, saying that it put them to sleep. I, however, found his voice to be the perfect vehicle for his message, which emphasizes the differences between the ego and consciousness. I strongly recommend this book to everyone on a spiritual quest.

If you are on a spiritual path, or would like to be, read this book. I recommend you combine it with Oprah's online classes from earlier this year - she discusses each chapter with Tolle and it's a wonderful guide.

This book is a must to read or listen to over and over. Eckhart Tolle's point is clearer than ever and is expressed in a way that you understand the meaning of being in the moment. If you are on this journey to find true meaning, this book brings it home for you with examples that apply to your life. Suddenly the stillness is there and you can understand how to find the peace we all need to be truly happy and be part of humanity.

Sometimes a book comes along that takes all of the murky concepts that you are struggling with, shines a light on them, and makes them simple and powerful. This for me is that book. I drive to work and back each day, 1-hour each way. This book has become my constant commuting companion. I have listened to it over and over and over again. Each time I get something new from it even though I have heard it many times before. It doesn't matter if I start at the beginning or in some random place. New meaning and insight just keep coming through. I can see subtle changes in my life each day as I apply the wisdom. I have no doubt that I am changing the world! Thank you Ekhart Tolle.

When I began listening to this audiobook, I almost immediately thought 'Uh-oh, I don't know if I can listen to this'. I stuck with it and have listened to it three or four times and have got more from it each time. If you are looking to be entertained and motivated by someone speaking in an excited tone of voice, then you probably won't enjoy this audiobook, you may get more by reading the actual book, or you may not get anything out of either. The teachings in this book are so powerful, it just might be too much for some. For those of you that are ready......Enjoy!

anyone on a path, or think they have found the "right" path...hold on! this will shake your spiritual foundation. it's not new age or any age it just is. and you just are. it is that simple. Tolle is a master communicator. he cuts through the red tape of religions and presents the pure essence of them all.

Eckhart Tolle, is enlighted. What a gift to have such a teacher living and offering his insights. In my experience the truth is simple. In "A New Earth" as in "The Power of Now", Eckhart's words are simple yet profound. Living in the "Now" is slowly become a way of life for me and "A New Earth" is another incredible work which greatly facilitates the process. Beneficial even for first time readers or listeners of Eckhart Tolle.
